While aimlessly wandering the virtual isles of the internet for summer picnic ideas, I found a list a great list on the New York Times website. 101 ideas. I only needed one since this week’s girls night is going to a concert on Mt Tabor. Of course you know I can’t follow a recipe, IContinue reading “Israeli couscous summer salad”

summer eating
Isn’t it amazing how our bodies tell us really important things when we take time to listen. My body talks to me in my dreams and my gut is quite vocal, especially when I don’t listen to it. And my gut check left me for awhile and it took me some time to get itContinue reading “summer eating”
the chicken made me do it
To continue yesterday’s story of the chicken that could mend moods… I ate my rotisserie chicken legs over the sink as any single gal would. Don’t you know? You don’t absorb as much fat if you eat standing up and you burn more calories. It’s a fact. 😉 So, after dinner, I stripped the restContinue reading “the chicken made me do it”
lady lavender’s lovely libation
I raise a glass in honor of the bounty of summer my garden keeps bestowing on me and my 100th follower. I can’t recall which blogger I was reading lately who said we write these blogs for our readers and our followers. I’ll agree somewhat. I am delighted that 100 people out there follow meContinue reading “lady lavender’s lovely libation”
Bean dip in a flash
What do you do when at the last minute you invite a few friends over for cocktails? No food in the house? A few random cans of whatever. Make bean dip. Crazy easy and the bowl was emptied very quickly. I called this a success. Throw everything in the bowl of a food processor andContinue reading “Bean dip in a flash”
Green is Good
Thursdays have turned into girl’s night. Watch Mad Men, craft, giggle and bitch. oh, and eat of course. We each bring a snack to share. You can usually tell what kind of day it’s been depending on what shows up. This week I’ve been getting back to center after the madness of Rebuilding Together isContinue reading “Green is Good”
Pass over the scones
One of my favorite things about Passover is the charoset. and truth be told, my charoset is the only reason I get invited to the Seders I do. 😉 I will admit, my charoset rocks! I live off of it for a week. It’s so easy to make, every year I think, why don’tContinue reading “Pass over the scones”
I’ll take Nookie for $100
Last year for my birthday, I gave myself a cooking class as my gift. We all have those things we fear or are too intimidated to tackle. I had heard so many horror stories about making gnocchi that I certainly wasn’t going to try it without a little hand holding. Caprial & John offer cookingContinue reading “I’ll take Nookie for $100”
I kept eating and eating…
The community dinners are a thing of wonder and delight. It’s constantly amazing how when you say potluck, people make awesome stuff they would rarely make any other day. And when that potluck is on St Patrick’s Day, well you know it’s going to be stuff they really only make once a year. I madeContinue reading “I kept eating and eating…”
a crustless quickie
quickie?! no porn here, unless it’s food porn 😉 Trader Joe’s used to sell these awesome crustless quiches. They made the perfect lunch. I have missed them so. Saturday I woke at my usual M-F time of 5am and was awake. So instead of laying there wishing I could go back to sleep, I gotContinue reading “a crustless quickie”
